Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson have always been good friends. You’d think that she would want to be there at his memorial, but no. She tweeted that “Ive been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla. And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word.” Understood.
Deaths
Farewell Allen Klein
Some of you may not recognize that name, but you should! He is the former manager of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and is one of the most formidable figures in the music industry. Allan Klein passed away on Saturday, after battling it out with Alzheimer’s.
MJ Memorial Tickets Released
Michael Jackson fans are starting to go crazy over the passes that are slowly being released. Over a million fans joined an online “lottery” to get the chance to win a pass to the memorial that is going to be held tomorrow at the Staples Center. Only 8,750 winners will be chosen. As early as yesterday, people have been announcing that they’ve got the Golden Ticket. I doubt that I’ll be one of them. Otherwise, I’d have known by now, right?
Michael Jackson Had Powerful Sedative Handy
A member of the law enforcement party that is investigating the death of Michael Jackson unofficially released a statement to the effect that a very powerful sedative has been found in the late singer’s home. The sedative is called Propofol and is said to be taken intravenously. Though the official wouldn’t say anything else, it seems that Propofol is rarely given outside of medical institutions.
MJ’s Ex-Wife Interested In Her Kids
MJ’s mother wants custody of the children, which actually follows Michael’s will. The children’s mom, Deborah Rowe, has come into the picture and says she doesn’t want her ex-mother-in-law to have custody. Even if she hadn’t had much contact with her children over the years, Rowe says that she wants to gain custody. We all saw this coming, right?
